here's code:

var album1 = "first album name"; var album2 = "second album name"; var album3 = "third album name"; var album4 = "fourth album name"; var album5 = "fifth album name";  var currentalbumctr = 1; var currentalbum = album + currentalbumctr; 

currentalbum should set album1 if currentalbumctr 1. can help?

you use eval achieve want, wrong way it. why not use array:

var album = []; album[1] = "first album name"; album[2] = "second album name"; album[3] = "third album name"; album[4] = "fourth album name"; album[5] = "fifth album name";  currentalbumctr = 1; currentalbum = album[currentalbumctr]; 

or, alternatively,

var album = {     "1": "first album name";     "2": "second album name";     "3": "third album name";     "4": "fourth album name";     "5": "fifth album name"; }; 

or even

var album = [     "first album name",     "second album name",     "third album name",     "fourth album name",     "fifth album name" ];  currentalbumctr = 1; currentalbum = album[currentalbumctr-1]; 

note -1 on last statement since arrays indexed 0
